Why is Discovery Freelancer focused on VHFs?

[Haste]

Probably, yeah. The reason I personally spend more time working on VHF balance is that I actually know my way around it. I know enough about it to have a faint idea of how to improve it.

Mind you, the dev team does want to review and improve cap balance (including cap-snub interaction). It's just very tricky to do. For example, making capitals more capable of defending themselves against snubs also means they become more capable of diving into a small snub brawl and taking everything out single-handedly. As caps are still quite easy to acquire, this would likely leave little opportunity for snub-snub combat (which is what snubs are balanced for to begin with).
